King Arthur And The Olympians: The Titan's Curse

Arthur Is Born To Be Wild

"Well... I have admit, helping you break camp rules like this kind of makes me feel a little uneasy.."  

Medusa was in her Servant form, her Breaker Gorgon blindfold over her eyes as I rode behind her on the large, beautiful, silvery Pegasus himself.  

We soared  across the clouds over New York City, as Medusa's impeccable ability to sense magic followed the Blessing of Artemis that was all over Zoe and Bianca.

Mash was sitting behind me, holding my waist tightly, her eyes shut tightly. I couldn't blame her, we were pretty high up, in fact I wasn't even sure if a Servant would survive falling from this height. 

A little car, the camp van, could be seen running across  the road down below, it's color and appearance unmistakable.. 

I wondered why Argus was driving them so far into the city.. usually Argus only drove Questers as far as a bus stop or something similar, than they were on their own.. 

"They've been driving for a while now.." I muttered, "Where is Argus taking them?"

"Zoe's the one driving actually." said Rider. "or so I've heard.. in any case I don't sense Argus anywhere in there, he has a certain aura about him that I cannot feel in there.."

"Is.. Zoe even old enough to drive?" Mash said, looking astonished. 

"She's been alive since even before I was born." I said. "She's pretty much old enough to do anything."

"They seem to be stuck in traffic." Rider muttered. "I'd like to take this opportunity to observe  what possible routes they might take.."

"Sure.. good idea." I said. 

Pegasus whinied, his divine voice echoing in the wind as he soared down to the Chrysler building and landed on one of the large metal eagles protruding from the building.. 

For a moment, Rider muttered to herself, shifting up her Breaker Gorgon so she could take a look at possible routes with sight instead of scent. 

"Alright.. they're moving." Medusa muttered. "You owe me for this Saber."

"Yeah.. just us to a point where they'll stop.. and you can go home after that.." I said. "Tell them I forced you.. I don't want you getting in trouble..

"Oh it's a little late for that I'm afraid.."

"What!?" Rider looked down to find Pegasus's legs were being entwined and restricted with large twisting and creeping Grape vines.. 

We looked behind us to see that Mr. D was strolling up the large metal eagle, looking bored and irritated.

"well well.. breaking the rules and going on quests without permission AGAIN are we?" said Mr. D. "Really Arturia do you intend on making me get off my butt more than once? What a chore.."

Pegasus neighed frantically. 

"Excuse me!?" said Mr. D, glaring at the horse. "Did you just call me.. 'the Wine Dude'?"

"How about Mr. Wine Guy sir?" said Mash innocently, obviously not good at reading the situation. 

"The next person who tries to come up with an endearing nickname for me will be flying off this building... without wings." said Mr. D, a purplish power emerging in his eyes like flames. 

"Dionysus.. what are you doing here!?" I snapped. "I'd hardly think you would even care about a few campers missing.."

"Well, it's not like Tantalus  is still around is he? but no... Daddy thinks I should take a more proactive role in ensuring camper safety, so here I am.. whoop de doo.. However, I'm in more of a punishing mood than mere scolding." said Mr. D. "tell me what exactly is there to stop me from pulling this silly Servant's mount out from under all three of you and letting you plummet to your theoretical deaths?"
